Conformational analysis of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptor binding inhibitor Leu1-Met2-Tyr3-Pro 4-Thr5-Tyr6-Leu7-Lys8 1 by various NMR techniques and constrained molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies revealed that the molecule had a turn structure involving its Tyr 3-Pro4-Thr5-Tyr6 moiety with intramolecular hydrogen bond between Tyr6NH→Tyr3CO. In order to mimic the structure of 1, peptidomimetic analogs 2-4 were synthesized using conformationally constrained scaffolds of 3,4-dideoxy furanoid sugar amino acids (2S,5R)-ddSaa1 5 and its enantiomer (2R,5S)-ddSaa2 6. All these analogs displayed well defined three-dimensional structures akin to that found in 1. Peptides 2 and 3, which differed only in the sugar amino acid stereochemistry, show propensity of structures with identical intramolecular hydrogen bonds between ThrNH→MetCO. A similar structure with a hydrogen bond between TyrNH→MetCO was observed in 4. Graphical Abstract.
